In the symplectic Lagrangian framework we in a new fashion embed an irreducible massive vector-tensor theory into a gauge invariant system, which has become reducible, by extending the configuration space to include an additional pair of scalar and vector fields, which give the desired Wess-Zumino action. A comparison with the BFT Hamiltonian embedding approach is also given.
